Going to a Play-off Game
Scott and I decided to splurge and go to one of the Giants' play-off games. (It was my first time ever going to a play-off game in any professional sport.)
On our way to the park, we saw a lot of fans who were dressed in orange and black, but this guy was our favorite:
We were in good company at the park - Willie Mays, MC Hammer, some members of the Grateful Dead and Journey.
Of course, they were nowhere near our seats, but we had a great view and we were shielded from the rain.
Tim Lincecum pitching:
Today Scott was getting ready to draft his fantasy basketball team, and Matthew couldn't resist typing on the keyboard. I pulled out my old laptop so he could have his own buttons to press.
It didn't last long though. I guess Matthew was tired because he fell asleep on the floor in the office.
Here's a fun video from bathtime last night:

Halloween fun around the house and at Disneyland!
We are excited that Halloween is almost here. We made these delicious tombstone brownies at Grandma Egg's house about two weeks ago. Yum!
Matthew continues to enjoy opening and shutting doors. Look at that smile.
Matthew is learning the value of good dental hygiene. It's never too soon!
Last week, we had a super fun trip to Disneyland with Scott's family. We flew down to Anaheim with Scott's parents and met up with the rest of the family there. Here is Matthew talking to Grandpa Egg while we were waiting at the airport:
Here we are at Disneyland!
Come on, Scott, am I really that scary?
After a tearful/traumatic meeting with Geppetto, we didn't let Matthew look too closely at Jack Skellington or Sally:
Riding the train around Disneyland:
Our little Mouseketeers:
Scott and I were excited to ride Casey Jr's train, but Matthew was grumpy from lack of a proper nap:
Even Dumbo couldn't cheer him up:
Matthew and Grace looked very cute in their Halloween PJs.

Recent Pictures
Matthew playing with friends, Jeremiah and Daniel, in the backyard:
They had so much fun running around:
Daniel pushing Matthew over:
These injuries are NOT the result of Daniel's push. But they were incurred not far from that location.
Matthew and I were going into the backyard and Matthew ran ahead and tripped. He bumped his head against the concrete and scraped his knee. It was very sad! He's all healed up now.
Here's a fun picture from Tom's birthday celebration:
And here are some pictures from the night I was in charge of bathtime (usually Scott's jurisdiction) and started playing with Matthew's hair:

Fun Times with the Eggs
There are some things that happen every day at our house. Like, for example, Matthew snacking on cheerios (in the morning) or goldfish (in the afternoon) while standing next to the couch:
A significant amount of Matthew's playtime is spent in front of our front window. Either sitting on the windowsill:
Looking out the window, removing pictures off the table, getting handprints on the window:
Or standing on the windowsill:
He also loves spending time looking at books. His latest obsession involves taking all the Little Golden Books, along with a couple dozen other books, off the shelf in his room. Then he'll read among the huge pile of books. He is not satisfied unless the floor is covered with books.
Occasionally he branches out and clears out other bookshelves around the house. Last night, we went to Barnes & Noble and I had to restrain him from doing this in the childrens' book section of the store.
We celebrated Scott's birthday a week ago. He requested a red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting.
We had a dinner for him on his birthday with his parents and my sister and her family.
After the party, Matthew was playing with some of the gift cards Scott received. We later discovered them here:
Normally the trash can is just on the other side of the gate. Luckily, the gift cards didn't land in the trash can. I've since moved the trash can further away from the baby gate, and its a good thing because Matthew now regularly throws toys, blankets, socks, shoes, books, etc. over that gate.
Last weekend, the Elders' Quorum in our ward held a pinewood derby. Here's Scott with his car.
It didn't win any prizes for speed, but it was loaded with style!
Yesterday, Matthew had loads of fun running around the backyard with his friends Jeremiah and Daniel:
And, finally, my favorite thing that Matthew has learned lately is how to do all the actions to "Popcorn Popping on the Apricot Tree" - although he often freezes up when I try to video him. Here's the best video I've captured so far:
